Pre-emptive TLDR; real life drama threatens to rip apart a huge part of my social life, so I might make up for it by posting in here more often. Nice to meet you all!
Now, if you want the FULL story, keep reading!
I'm an anime fan, and the University I used to attend has a great anime club, where I've made most of the good friends I have right now. We meet every week, and really, we just have anime run in the background while we talk about whatever else. We've been running for over 10 years, and we even host a free anime convention every year that gets about 3000 attendees. It's a blast.
Until last Friday. We decided to hold a fancy dress masquerade, and were collecting donations to benefit Child's Play. I won't tell the full story here, but this coincided with a power struggle among our elected officers, which culminated in an arrest, and a majority of the club wanting to vote out our entire board. They do not want this, and seems they are more likely to kill this club than leave.
Unfortunately, as I said, most of my friend's I see through anime club. It's one of the few things I do in a week. Frankly, at this point, I wouldn't mind it being over, just to end all this senseless drama. Already this week's meeting was canceled, because the officers fear that the members will revolt.
So I thought, if I'm not doing anime club, maybe I'll come here more often till I find another IRL social group. I've lurked since the Image forums, though I never posted till we got here, and even then, only a few times. It's weird, I feel like I know a lot of you, but you guys don't know me. I'll try to fix that. Nice to meet you all!
